FZ6 Side View
FZ6 Tail View
FZ6 Front View
Well, I got the FZ6 put back together today, and except for some wet sanding and buffing, it is done. The pictures look good, but like most bikes, it looks better in person. As you can see from the last post, it was wrecked and needed the whole front fairing assembly. But I have to say, that the bike really looks better as a naked bike than with the 1/4 fairing.
All in all, it was not that hard to convert. I did have to fabricate a bracket to hold the gauges, but the headlight and mounts are standard off the shelf items. Fortunately, I could reuse the headlight/gauge wiring harness without having to cut and splice. Other than a few plugs tucked in behind the headlight bucket, it is a super clean install.
The pearl white and red are really great colors and the bike screams retro Yamaha but runs and rides like a modern 600. It will be a great bike for whoever buys it.
